Marius Moore

Marius' work has always been inspired by Zen. He was conceived in Korea and grew up surrounded by Asian art. It obviously had an impact. His latest work is inspired by Zen Koans, which are allusions meant to short circuit the mind to see beyond the mundane. With the new studio creations, inner subjects are more freely explored. Rather than working with what the world presents, entire new worlds can be imagined. There is light to finesse, angles to ponder and thoughts to deconstruct. Sometimes a concept is preconceived. Other times it seems to manifest itself. The still life subjects are assembled in studio. A single exposure is made with a modern camera and vintage lenses. The image is then printed on old-school baryta coated paper with a new-school machine. Yin, then Yang. mariusmoore.com
